Combining Estimates in Regression and Classification
回归与分类中的估计组合
We consider the problem of how to combine a collection of general regression fit vectors to obtain a better predictive model. The individual fits may be from subset linear regression, ridge regression, or something more complex like a neural network. We develop a general framework for this problem and examine a cross-validation—based proposal called “model mix” or “stacking” in this context. We also derive combination methods based on the bootstrap and analytic methods and…
